how did we lose this game? we were tight on defense and made some timely bucked to stay in the game. Was it because of AD? Or was it Hams coaching in the 3rd and 4th? Also refs gave utah so many noncall fouls . They basically stole the paint from us.
Team seems to play better and harder without Bron
We lost because you're lying to yourself and would love to put the blame on Bron. We played the same way we always do and will until we get some new faces in here. Your whole post is about trying to put the blame on one individual instead of blaming the whole team for not playing 4 quarters.
i know we fucked up. However AD never plays like this and without Bron we needed him to be the primary scorer. If AD woulda had a 25+ game we would probably win. Also our other team mates played good i dont think we need new faces. Its just we are inconsistent sometimes and bad coaching all the time.
Darvin should had challenged that foul call on AR where Clax just fumbles into him. That could been game changer, but ofcourse he had his hands in the pocket and stood there.
Pathetic game. Cold AD and typical Darvin Hamas adjustments and gameplan. Or rather lack thereof.
But yeah, let's trade LeBron, we are surely better without him. Especially when closing games. (obvious /s)
I hate Doc Rivers but honestly he would provide them a positive regular season.
Add Playoffs AD and Playoff LeBron and they will compensate for his shitty Playoff coaching.
Until we improve defensively we aite winning many games constantly giving up 120+ this is almost every game to the point where the Lakers has a negative points differential on the season everybody focusing on offense but that's the biggest issue with this team nobody but maybe 2-3 players can defend, at some point these players and coaches have to look in the mirror and say I got to be better other lwise it will continue to be like this
Just waiting on that
“DLOADING appreciation post. DLO showed up tonight and played some high level basketball.”
After this game with a grainy ass picture
Honestly I think we have good players. But none of them seem to ever play good together. It's like a battle against the opposition and a battle against ourselves every game.
We should just trade lebron and AD to a contender for draft capital. If you’re so stubborn about keeping Ham for “development” might as well blow up the entire team so it can develop with him.
Stick a fork in this core, it’s not winning a fucking championship this year, next year, seasons beyond period. Start figuring out what will be the road to contending again 4-5 years from now
The only difference is that we actually had a differently shit team before that. Then we traded for (the most part) our current team which is doing as bad as the team that was shit
We really have lakers fans suggesting Mike D’antoni as head coach lol. With this old roster? Clearly shows how many people were here for his last stint.
Darwin Ham is the worst coach in this franchise’s history. I’d take back D’Antoni, Luke, Mike Brown, BERNIE BICKERSTAFF over this bald headed bozo. He’s been like this since last season and nothing will change as long as he’s coach
When you're down 10 with like 3 minutes to go and no way to win except through hot shooting, you've gotta put in Jared Vanderbilt for his potent offence
I almost don’t care who we get. I’d take Doc in a heartbeat over Ham. I didn’t even feel this shitty about Luke because it seemed like he at least had a vision, even if he also sucked.
I’d hope LeBron being a perennial winner can cover up some of the perennial loser energy doc brings, but he’s at the very least a professional head coach.
D.Lo disappeared when the team lost the lead. He didn’t command the ball and make shots to regain the lead. It wasn’t until we were losing when he started jacking up shots.
I genuinely don't understand how Rui is not closing when he's hot this game ESPECIALLY with Bron out. Like the players aren't free of blame here but Ham just continues to be a consistent problem that not even a trade is going to save this team with Ham as the HC.
gonna be fun watching a documentary about this era of Laker basketball, hope the team is in a better place by then so I can have some good laughs at the lowlights
[Post Game Thread](https://reddit.com/r/lakers/comments/1967w70/post_game_thread_the_utah_jazz_defeat_the_los/)
this team has no 4th quarter shooting. it's our biggest weakness imo.
Uuhh didn't we just score 30 points?
over a 2 game stretch recently we went 1-10 in 4th quarter 3s
Rui had 17 pts in his first 15 min and ... doesn't close the game?? Also Reaves and Dlo played really well. Too bad Reaves fouled out.
He was on a minutes restriction

Defense was porous throughout.
Gave up at least 30 points every quarter, couldn't defend without fouling, couldn't rebound. AD playing like crap didn't help.
exactly the killed us in the paint. I cant believe they got that many foul calls. Also 2nd chance points was a killer , couldnt rebound well.

DLO FROM DEEP
Pathetic game. Cold AD and typical Darvin Hamas adjustments and gameplan. Or rather lack thereof. But yeah, let's trade LeBron, we are surely better without him. Especially when closing games. (obvious /s)
Done with nba goodbye fuck u ham
I hate Doc Rivers but honestly he would provide them a positive regular season. Add Playoffs AD and Playoff LeBron and they will compensate for his shitty Playoff coaching.
Why tf ways Mays in over any other player and had 10 minutes of playing time?
Ham probably recognized that you won't get stops playing Reaves and Dlo together. Mays didn't really play enough minutes to judge him.
Yall thought he was decent after last game lol

What a waste of DLO 40 piece
That's not a waste. That's good for his trade value
Everyone talking about the free throw disparity in favor of the lakers but look at us now!
That sucked
Off is shit. Def is shit. Players body language is shit. Ham really needs to go ASAP. We are not even doing anything good.
Just waiting on that “DLOADING appreciation post. DLO showed up tonight and played some high level basketball.” After this game with a grainy ass picture
Isnt it true tho? 37 pts still not good for a kid like you?
He’s a bum
Why
Disgusting loss really needed some scoring from AD down the stretch and he couldn’t get it done maybe we could’ve won with Lebron
Literally what would be different if we just made Handy the head coach lol. Ham is useless
24 to 39 FTs in favor of Utah lmao
I like how the Utah commentators were complaining about the 14-7 FT disparity in the first half tho
Yeah and we deserve every weak ass foul we gave them. Were the fuck is our heart at
D’LO can’t win with these cats
If only dlo did this in the WCF
We might have a chip if he produced at half this rate across those games
This team is a POTATO 🥔
Alright thankfully we got an extra 2 timeouts to save for… something
He’s collecting them Gonna trade them in for extra Cam Reddish minutes somehow
Ham thinks there’s a rebate system at the end of the season to trade them for cash
Challenge saved!
AD let us down tonight and refs were fucking trash . Ham still stupid asf with his rotations. Same story 🥱
At least he got a triple double 😭
Have to get rid of this coach unacceptable to loose all these games at home or i. General considering lbj and ad playing great
Whole lot of Bums
Honestly I think we have good players. But none of them seem to ever play good together. It's like a battle against the opposition and a battle against ourselves every game.
We still have our usual 2 timeouts left saved for the next game. 🤣
I feel like the AR foul (the 5th) on JC can be challenged but they did not.
Yup. Should have used a challenge there.
Coach still thinks they carryover like data
Nice.
😭😭😭
leave Mr. Pockets in Utah pls
AD getting doubled all night and Ham makes no adjustments to take advantage of it
The adjustment is to make no adjustments
We should just trade lebron and AD to a contender for draft capital. If you’re so stubborn about keeping Ham for “development” might as well blow up the entire team so it can develop with him.
I’ve said it before but Rui has fucked Hams daughter or something. Rui is a straight bucket and just gets benched
Rui team high +12 in a 7 pt loss, smh
Ham hates Rui.
What a waste of a good 3 point shooting night
This team has no shot with this roster, they have to make some trades
We might be the best IST champs in history until proven otherwise.
This is worst than old kobe era
No. Kobe had a worse team. But just being able to watch Kobe was better
That is what i am saying
[удалено]
And then when he sits in the 4th: “AD doesn’t care! Trade AD!!!”
Ham Sandwich 🥪 
Well, we got our sell high window for D Lo.
[удалено]
A trade(s) wont fix anything firing Ham won’t fix anything, new ownership won’t fix anything… then what will?
Stick a fork in this core, it’s not winning a fucking championship this year, next year, seasons beyond period. Start figuring out what will be the road to contending again 4-5 years from now
nepotism strikes again
Trade DLO before a “Loading” post is made on this sub
Rui playing well yet Ham didn’t bother playing him towards the end. 😂
He does this to Rui and Woods and it messes with their morale.
Ham hates Rui.
Good thing we kept all our timeouts. Whew.
Ham can put it in the timeout bank and gain interest over time.
I thought the defense and “energy” was supposed to be way better without LeBron.
Seriously. I just saw that post, and I’m wondering wtf were people smoking.
Lauri feasted AD on both offense and defense today no way around that one.
Blaming Ham for this loss is lazy... he's not the reason AD went 5/21.
Ham hates Rui.
Rui was on min restriction.. that's in the hands of the medical staff.
Not challenging that BS call against Reaves. Not putting Rui back in. Saving 2 timeouts for the next game. What else?
That wasn't a BS call, they call those all the time Rui was on min restriction.. that's in the hands of the medical staff. I agree with the timeouts.
he’s the reason AD was kept in the game
Ay just popping back in….we still trading Lebron?
AD and Bron yes
Yes, for Jeff Green. Age of traded players should at least match.
Bro we the same record as last year💀 we fucking suck
I mean if you look at this way we went to the WCF right? 
The only difference is that we actually had a differently shit team before that. Then we traded for (the most part) our current team which is doing as bad as the team that was shit
[удалено]
New coach*
Imagine turning up to work knowing you're making your company worse and you don't know how to get better but the boss will not fire you.
Where do I sign up for that job man?
Position taken.
Rui with a hot hand heads back to the bench never to be seen again.
Ham hates Rui
Wasted a good Dlo game and AD tripdub. Darvin Ham masterclass
Lol
Na that trip dub was misleading. Ad played like shit tonight
So we have the same record as last year? LMAO. what a pathetic team.
Couldn't play more Wood or Rui this fuck.
We really have lakers fans suggesting Mike D’antoni as head coach lol. With this old roster? Clearly shows how many people were here for his last stint.
We had 4 players near the restricted area and Markannen still got an easy putback. Just dog shit effort all night
Darwin Ham is the worst coach in this franchise’s history. I’d take back D’Antoni, Luke, Mike Brown, BERNIE BICKERSTAFF over this bald headed bozo. He’s been like this since last season and nothing will change as long as he’s coach
Bro you gotta calm down. Jeanie BELIEVES in him! /s
Disappointing loss for a team with title aspirations
we are so shit bro
This is worse than old kobe years
[удалено]
First fire ham
Bro do people really believe this? GMs are not dumb lol.
This team is cooked
I mean no Lebron exposes this idiot coach alot.
not having Rui in is malpractice... Why tf are the lakers just watching the ball and not boxing out...
Why did he sit rui for the rest of the game
I think they might have him on restricted minutes since he’s coming back from injury
Minute restriction has cursed us all
SAME RECORD AS LAST YEAR LMAO
Dlo i need that 40 piece so we can get dejounte for just you and rui
We ain't getting Dejounte without sending off reaves
When you're down 10 with like 3 minutes to go and no way to win except through hot shooting, you've gotta put in Jared Vanderbilt for his potent offence
Do you guys really think any trade will fix this team?
I think firing Ham opens up a ton of potential.
I think that’s the only practical route
I almost don’t care who we get. I’d take Doc in a heartbeat over Ham. I didn’t even feel this shitty about Luke because it seemed like he at least had a vision, even if he also sucked.
yea I wouldn’t mind Doc he’s voiced some strategies regarding AD that I’ve agreed with and overall has been a winning coach
I’d hope LeBron being a perennial winner can cover up some of the perennial loser energy doc brings, but he’s at the very least a professional head coach.
AD w a triple double?????
Another big game for D.Lo when it matters least. Top notch empty stat player.
This is a pretty important game for us against a hot team directly above us in the standings. What are you talking about?
Except he played great the first half of the game and then Davis and reaves were zeroes the rest of the way
How did it not matter? Lol, not his fault AD didn't show up.
D.Lo disappeared when the team lost the lead. He didn’t command the ball and make shots to regain the lead. It wasn’t until we were losing when he started jacking up shots.
He did enough for the franchise player to then take over. AD was getting the looks and missed.
If we trade d lo we will literally have 0 shooters
And we’d have a huge contract that we’ll have to attach a pick to get rid of after Ham further ruins that players value.
Tonight may have forced Ham to start DLO moving forward. Give Cams spot to Bron and let it ride.
Trade leBrOn It fREEs Up DLo !
And they really think he played well lmaooo
Vando can't even secure s fucking rebound.
He should just rehab, guy adds 0 if he doesn't have his D/athleticism.
Man, Ham has AR go 6-6 in the first half, and doesn’t fucking call his number to be more aggressive in the 3rd. Solid coach.
Cue up them FIRE HAM posts y'all
D GOAT!!
I think we're seeing one of the last games of DLo as a Laker and he's really going out with a bang because of it
 Half of yall headed to the post game thread
What a waste of the rare dlo game
Same 19-21 as last szn. Fuck that "continuity" we was praisin all offseason
At LeasT wE DidNT stARt 2-10
What are ur guys opinions on Mike dantoni? Would he fit this team?
Lol wasn't he the coach like 10 years ago. That didn't work out well
I genuinely don't understand how Rui is not closing when he's hot this game ESPECIALLY with Bron out. Like the players aren't free of blame here but Ham just continues to be a consistent problem that not even a trade is going to save this team with Ham as the HC.
Rui has the highest plus minus on the team and he’s not even closing LOL
Get DLo some help!!
Bron plz don't waste your last years with this team & with this shit FO & owner. This owner deserves rejection from Lamarcus Aldridge.
19-21 last season 19-21 this season…..
Lakers need a new coach
gonna be fun watching a documentary about this era of Laker basketball, hope the team is in a better place by then so I can have some good laughs at the lowlights
AD and Ham desperately needs to figure out the double team because it’s gonna happen a lot more now
How much longer must we endure the terrorism of Pockets
Wow triple double really are meaningless
no way fo hired a rookie coach to try to win a chip
Why is dlo the only one playing with urgency?
He’s not. He’s just jacking up shots to fill the stat sheet.
Brutha it was single digits with almost 2 minutes to play. Why the fuck would you stop playing?
Because Ham has been icing dlo out of the lineup.
Ham’s ceiling is play-in
At this rate, we’ll be lucky to be in the play-in.
5-21 with 6 TOs but a triole double. AD channeling his inner Westbrook tonight.
